After decades of increased safety awareness and regulation, one might expect that explosions would be fairly uncommon in today’s workplace. On the contrary, though, job-related explosions are surprisingly frequent — and often fatal.
Most workplace explosions in New York happen because of negligence, meaning that an employer or a third party failed to take reasonable precautions that could have prevented the explosion or the injuries.
When that happens, New York personal injury law dictates that the responsible parties should have to pay for the victims’ damages. Compensation is available for hospital and medical expenses, time away from work, pain, impairment, emotional distress, and suffering relating to the loss of a loved one.

What Causes Workplace Explosions? How Do You Establish Liability?
Workplace explosions usually happen because the employers failed to properly address a known safety hazard. Or, even if the employers didn’t know about the hazard, they may still be liable if we can prove that they should have known. The latter is referred to as “constructive knowledge.”
Employers often find themselves held responsible for:
- Violating safety regulations
- Providing inadequate safety training for employees
- Allowing a dangerous condition to persist
- Failing to reasonably inspect working conditions / premises
- Using faulty or outdated technology or equipment
- Allowing corroded metal to stay in place
- Failing to address fire or electrical hazards
- Failing to take reasonable steps to protect the health and safety of their employees or the public.
